Our neighbor town, Washington, has just heid its second annual fair, The editor spent a short while in the grounds, Thursdy afternoon, and while {not expecting to see very much, taking into consideraticn that the enterprise is yet in its infancy we were somewhat surprised to find the fair as good as it was, The exhibits were not very large but many of them were excellA&tt.

Itis:still foreign to my purpose to take any part in a discussion with you or any other friecd about what-may or may not happen a year hence, so in asking you to publish one more letter and in commenting upon your review of my former letter Ide so for the purpose of em- phasizing and amplifying the position therein taken. The mistaken point in your review, as 1t seems to me, is that you assume that be true, which is impossible, to wit: the aban donment by the Democracy of North Carolina of the doctrines laid down in the Chicago plat form. The harmful part of it is that it contains what may possi- bly be taken as an admission that we are goiug to do what Butler charges us with having a purpose to co, to wit : weakening} _0n the great question set forth at Chicago. There is no purpose apywhere, of which I have any knowledge, to abate one jot or tittle of our faith in our advocacy of these meastres. On the con- trary, it isfrom this swong, im- pregnable position, as | under stand it, that it is proposed to make tu fight tor the redemption of the State, and it is upon this high vantage ground that it is proposed to invite the Pouplists: who haye not enlisted under Bussell’s black banners, to join us in protecting our asylums ard cities and towns and homes from the curses of bad Republican rule: There is no occasion, 1 seems fo me, to apprehend that the gold Democrats of this State will attempt to control the organiza- tion of the party or mark out its policies or indicate its line of action. 1 am obliged to give them credit for some sense. They must know they are too few in numbers to do either, and I very much donot if they have eyer thought of attempting it. I pre- 4, dict that the men chosen next year to lead the Democratic forces will be as true, as sincere | and as loyal in. their deyotion to ithe Chicago platform as you or I, and still I assert that it 1s my ‘belief that the dark and dirty record of the last Legislature and ’ of the Republican administration - will be the issue uvon which the great battle for the redemption of the State will be fought. There is hardly a week pacses that we do not have some new and startling evidence of the ef ! lementable condition of things brought upon the State by the Butler- Russell combine, and the , | utter inability of the Republi can party to give the State a decent administration df its affairs. — Now a word ‘in ‘roply"to what you said about te campaign of 1894. Iquote frem your editorial as follows: ‘We need: hardly to Aen pd Gorey 1.08 Jarvis that the weak point-in-the campaign of 1994 was the failure ofthe party to ‘ing full and clear on the stump for silver’ It.cannot be said that J was.ene of those who failed to ring out. [| am in no way responsiblp:for any part of our defeat caused by the failure of the party to-ring out.on silver But Lam act going to discuss the campaign of 1804. Whether we should agree or not as tu the cause of our overwhelmg defeat is vot material in settlirg our apparent differences about the campaign of 1896, There is this, however, in reference to cam— paign of 1894 about which we cannot disagree and that is this: the Democratic party was on the defensive from start to fiaish. It will be admitted, 1 presume, that Lhave had some experience in campaign work in North Cerolina. With this long experience I as- sert it was the first defensive campaign in which [I was ever engaged, and I ean insure you I have no desire for another fight of the kind. I prefer to lead or fight in the ranks of the attackiag column. It is more to my dking, and I want to see the Democratic party assume the aggressive 1D "98 and attack and expose to public gaze the defensize record of the Republican administration till it is made, agit deserves to be, & stench in the nostrils of every decent man in the State, And, by the way, i will dare make the suggestion that our Democratic papers ought to be at that work can neyer be equitably adjusted and fairly settled in the true interests of the people till the hungry pie-hunting crowd who are now dragging down the most sacrea jaterests of the State are drniyen from power. You may not have noticed as closely as I have, because you may not hawe kad the opportuni- ties, but still it 18 a fact that must impress itself upon you and every othe thoughtful, observant man, that there is under Keoub- lican rule in this State, and always has been, a terrible lower- ing of the standard of public virtue and public aspirations. Why this is so 1 need not now discuss. I simply state the fact and with me it outweighs a mul- titude of minor questions. which gome of you brethren of the press are making so prominent, and about which our friends are uot agreed. It has been the mission of the Democratic party to lead the people of our dear old State up out of the mire and filth of Republican misrule to a higher and. better life. I have given some of the best years of my life tothis work, and I trust that I may be spared to again 8€e it fulfilling this migsicn. Could anyching be more absurd than that those who bear the banner of thie party next year, as it goes forth upon its great mission, should go about the State dis~ cussing the Chicago platform, when right in front of then, and upon every side of them, staring them fullin the face, stand the evidences of a debauched public service and the curse ot Russeil- selt and Butler better. Will we doit? 1 think not. Pardon me for making one more extract from your paper. Yousay! “We cannot see that itis any worse to befriendly with Populists in State affairs than to now instead of wrangling with, each other about questions which: ism? Nothing could please Rus- invite the aid of their organiza- tion in a national election.” In thie Tquite agree with you if we| understand this question alike. If it is meant that we shall, in the campaign nextyear, ibe sincerely, genuinely friendly with the Pop- ulists, giving them substantial asserances of-ocr desire to have them go with usin the fight] against Rueselism and for the redemption of the State, then I think you will find the party endorsing that position ; but if it is meant that-a reciprocity treaty isto be negotiated with Butler for the support of his organiza- ticn, then I ‘think the man who undertakes that job will be able to count his ‘fcllewers upon his fingers. There isa well defined opinion among silyer men that while Butler was writing and speaking for silver in 1896, his lieutenants, with Iris cknowledge aod approval, were going from county to county and ‘from dis- fuoang and Discounts Premium on Stock Due from Banks 95+ 50% ABSOLUTELY GU ARANTERD to cure any cane of constipation.

And it may not be out of place to say it in this connetion that there is in Mr. Butler’s life one character- istic which has greatly distin- cuished him ia this State, and to which he has been loyal! and true, aud that is capacity and fondness for trading avd traficking ir office for office, But take this distinguished characteristic oat of bis political life and the bal- avee cf it 18 like the shifting sands of the seashore, ever changing. Unless i am greatly mistaken, the aspiriug Vemocrat who expects to win favor for himself and success for his party through an agreement with Senator Butler will find his hopes wither and decay. Indulge me, my good friend, in one or two more sugzesuions and { will not further tiansgress upon your space Or the patience of your readers. Treckon I have as little per-' sonal knowledge of the pluns and purposes of Governor Rus- geli and Senator butler as any man in the State, for neither uave spoken to me, that I can now recall, in over a year. and J venture the guess that no two men in the State would give more or go further to get up an iesue for 1898 that would obscure and rub out of sight the race question and the dark record they have made in legislation and admimistration than thev would. ‘Their persistent but fruitless effort to find or make such an issue must have been amusing to observant, thoughtful men. Occasionally they seem for a little time to have some slight success, but as the iniquity of their administration of public affairs becomes better known, pa- pers and people begin tocry out for better government adminis- tered by better men. In their sight the man who pleads for white supremacy and good gov- ernment is unworthy of the con- fidence or the attention of the people, because they know full well they can furnish neitder, put only tet some Democrat suggest | in spoech or letter that the battle ought to be fought on other lines and-they are ready at once to be- come his publisher. patron and enlogist: | { may not know anything of the} sentiment of the people.

His worst enemy is the Negro politician ; his next worst is the Cancasian who buys his vote with the prom- ise of office. Ifthe negro would keep out of politics, he covid count on more friends and fewer faise leaders. But there are politicians of their own race and of the white race who persist—in truth with no less base a motive than to rise to ofice—in encour- aging the colored people to aspire to political preferment. Recently one of their organs was demanding that a ‘egro candi- date for Governor be nominated. It has long ceased to be a start- ling thing to see them in Con- gress, Legislatures, post offices and clerical positions. Those who get these placas gain a little money; but what does the race gain? It gains nething good whatever ; it loses the friendship of the very class of people who would help it. But somehow the Negro has gotten the idea that he can be fitted up only one way, namely, into office. Can they expect the white people to de- sire to educate them, if by their education they shal! straightway seek to be made rulers oyer their benetactors; and to do this, shall | yield themselves as instruments into the hands of politicians of the baser sort? The Negro needs education, not office; re- iigious elevation, not political preferment ; moral enlightenment not social equality; and _ the sooner he recognizes this the better. Any set of men, or com- bination of men, white or black, thatin a single instance offers Negroes cflices in order to get voles for themselves, are inimical to tho interests of both races. The black raca2s were not made to rule; they neyer have ruled; their history is a cipher except in places and periods in which they have come into contact with the other races.
